Gotta have the word "Pirate" in the title or it won't sell.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

We still get idiots who think any British 2p coin with 'NEW PENCE' on the reverse is valuable (the only rare one is the mule dated 1983, which was not issued for circulation)... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/396999012013This guy has taken his pocket change out and polished it!

An 1851 silver Belgian 5 Francs (a crown-sized silver coin) for £5.43 (US$7.24)? Sounds like a bargain until you see it's a cupro-nickel 5 Francs of King Baudouin dated 1977, worth about 10c! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/357627568332But it's a bargain compared with most of his grossly overpriced, badly photographed and hilariously described coins! His other listings are well worth looking at if you want a laugh!
